Anti-Sovietism

Anti-Sovietism is an anti-communist ideology that was aimed against the Soviet Union. The movement originated shortly after the Russian Revolution of 1917, when the White movement rose in opposition to te Bolsheviks; during the 1920s, Polish intelligence cultivated armed resistance to the USSR with his Prometheist program of supporting nationalist movements within the USSR. At the time of the Russian Civil War, categories of people such as clergy, kulaks, former czarist policemen, and other groups were automatically considered anti-Soviet. After the end of World War II, there were anti-communist insurgencies in Eastern Europe targeting the USSR. Anti-Sovietism came to an end with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
